Director’s Corner
Dear Parents,
Spring is knocking at the door and we are so excited to welcome the season. The warmer weather will allow us to be outside A LOT! We are looking forward to it. We are aware that some local school guidelines on masking continues to evolve. We are keeping a close eye on that, but also staying in close contact with our representative from the local Health Department. Right now, we will continue to keep our masking policies in place as Chesterfield remains on “high risk” status according to the Virginia Health Department. However, we will keep our eyes on the numbers and inform you of any potential adjustments in the months ahead.
I hope you have a blessed month and enjoy some time outside with your family.
Blessings,
Kathy Bakken
Director

SUCCESSFUL LUNCH FOR YOUR CHILD
Starting to dread packing lunch for your child every morning? It’s easy to get in a meal rut when it comes to packing good food for the day. Here are a few helpful hints from JustSimplyMom.com
- Send foods that your child is familiar with and you know they like
- Plan ahead! When making your meal plan for the week, make sure to plan out your child’s daycare lunches.
- Review our requirements and restrictions to make sure you are in compliance.
- Make sure everything you send is cut into pieces easy enough for your child to chew and not choke.
- Write out their favorite main dishes/ sides on note cards. Keep them in a convenient place for when you are struggling with ideas.
